when Jesus came on earth sent by his father the mission was to change things from bad to better means to die on our behalf for us to be saved (to save the world from sins)and himself predicted about everything that would happen to him.
there were nothing to do for him to incite his death or to make those people to be violent against Jesus so he can be put to death he wanted the olders or leaders to hear the massege that he brought from his father for them to not follow their culture but to bide with messaiah who is the son of Almighty God.
those leaders were angry against Jesus when he was called himself son of GOD for them it was like abomination the non respect of Abraham their father like they used to call him and because of their hearts were harden that's why Jesus compared them to snakes and other reason that Jesus told them like he could build the temple in three days .
the leaders accomplished or to fiful the prophecy of Isaiah in his book he said "he was oppressed and afflicted,yet he did not open his mouth,he was led like a lamb to the slaughter,and as a sheep before her shearers is silent ,he not open his mouth".
no body can stop what the LORD GOD wants to do satan thought he was the winner but he find himself defeated and under the feet of son of God
